Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

Gratz!! :D

SpiderFighter: That's been around since September. I think you actually have to "purchase" the free games for them to show up though, unless you're just starting a new account, then they show up automatically..

The_Blog: Yeah i know that. Already "purchased it" ^^

Question to all of you
:

Just a random question. Do you think its ok to share your bought DRM Free games with Friends? I have a llot games on steam, some on gog and allot of drm free through bundles. So I quite have a larger library and I like to share them with friends when they wanna try a game they never heard of or something like that. Actually thats also one of my main motivations for DRM Free games.

What is your opinion about it?
As long as you aren't trying to make a profit, letting friends demo or borrow for a bit is fine.

zeffyr: And after Psychonauts we would get...?

EX-Deimon: The normal GoG homepage. Just because the GoG staff love trollin'
And that will be glorious. I'm collecting release banners for games, and I was starting to get worried here; banners from Redshirt onwards have yet to show up.
Well, now I bought Psychonauts, too.
I am part of the last game sale! :D

DRM-Free Fall Insomnia Sale Part 2!

Kaitu: DOUBLE DIGITS PEOPLE!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!
Wait, so what are we supposed to do now? Prep for our comas, or run around in circles screaming because we won't know what to do with ourselves when this is over? Both maybe?

Oofles: Ah, but there are Firefox addons to fix the dictionary.
avatar
DubConqueror: Thanks, it works! Just for testing:

My spelling-checking under Firefox usually makes about everything red. A spelling-checker isn't any use for finding errors in a foreign language, like typing a message in English on a Dutch computer. If only Dutch was the lingua franca on GOG!

Only error left now (after adding 'Firefox' and 'GOG' to the dictionary) is lingua franca. But I'm quite sure I should add the word franca to the dictionary as well. Google translates the Dutch phrase 'lingua franca' to the same 'lingua franca' in English.
lingua franca is a Latin phrase. We use it in English too.

This is also not a drill where we tell everyone that it's not a drill, you know, to make them take the drill more seriously, Even though everyone knows it's a drill.

So, uh, not a drill, right.
So close...must not...fall...asleep...

Personally if i had some spare key i havent used i simply let them redeem the key in their account, more likely if i have some copy on other site or simply doesnt want the game, and if i redeemed it already i let them try the game on my PC, but they gonna have to buy it if they want it on their PC or laptop.

JustSayin: Just imagine the keyboard and mouse vs. controller discussion we had, over there. Apologies for having you think about that.

Starmaker: Aw, I missed the discussion. So why is it a good idea to assign movement controls to a single digit of a usually nondominant hand? #trollface #actuallyinterested
Are you asking about mapping 4 different actions on the space bar? ;)
I didn't take part in the discussion as I don't really care what's "superior". I play game to have fun, not to impress people.
